"Let's Talk Better Mileage" vs. "Kill the Bastards" could be the two main factions within the Democratic Party today

Trump Boat Bombings Take Darker Turn as Top Official Suddenly Resigns As the head of the military’s Southern Command steps down, Adam Smith, the top Armed Services Committee Democrat, sheds new light on the departure—and on Trump’s appalling secrecy about the bombings.

News on Trump boat bombings --> Now that SouthCom Commander Alvin Holsey has resigned, likely over the bombings, ranking Armed Services Dem Adam Smith tells me committee Ds will demand Holsey's sworn testimony and press Rs to join them.

Smith spoke to us on the pod:

The GOP that gave us the Jan. 6 terrorist attack, the pardon of the Jan 6 terrorists and their young leaders saying "I love Hitler" is telling us the No Kings protests is anti-American. Bless their hearts 🤣

There will be universities in three years.

Higher or lower?

This was exactly what I said a decade ago after the “locker room talk” bullshit about the Access Hollywood tape.

No, neither I nor my friends ever hung out in the locker room bragging about sexually assaulting women.

There's a third type who sees straight through your bullshit into the soulless depths of your giant rape culture environment destroying theft machine for what it is and want nothing to do with it or you.

I am genuinely curious how many are former 3%ers or Proud Boys, I'd bet real money on it.

Congress didn’t give up its power. A single political party is complicit in the destruction of the Republic. There is a huge difference.

imagine laying off a politics reporter based in portland oregon in the year 2025

Fight back, Dems! Fight back, America!

Be LOUD! Be OBSTINATE! Refuse to kneel!

Punch the bully right back where he lives

Refuse to allow tariffs to bankrupt our citizens!
Refuse to be intimidated by GOP propaganda!
For every nonsense claim, push back with your own!

Play the same game for once!!!

Hillary calls the GOP deplorables, and Dems fall over themselves to self-flagellate. And that's a good thing -- they know the line, and apologize for stepping over it.

Karoline Leavitt says that Dems' "main constituency" is terrorists and violent criminals. And every public Rep is cheering her on!

Can you imagine Michigan having an epidemiologist as its governor in 2020? It would have been epic. Whitmer took no shit, though. I miss Gretchen "8645" Whitmer.

One of El Sayed or McMorrow must drop out. Can El Sayed win a statewide race in Michigan?

Not All Old Candidates Are Joe Biden, and Not All Young Ones Are Great All things being equal, sure, Democrats ought to lean toward younger candidates. But there are many times when all things aren’t equal.

I would much rather have Markey than Moulton as Massachusetts senator. Sanders and Warren are old and great leaders. Slotkin and Gallego are young (by Senate standards) but have pushed Sen Dems in the wrong direction since they got there. Jeffries is pretty young. newrepublic.com/article/2018...

"They" say "transgender for everyone" like it's a bad thing, but everybody deserves to be able to trans their gender. And trans it back if it's not for them.

Speaking at Reed College in 1965, a Portland Nazi floated the idea of building a barbed-wire topped wall along the entire Mexican border. The audience erupted in dismissive laughter. Not so funny now. Sometimes history does more than just rhyme

That chair of the OR GOP in 1978 was named Walter Huss, and throughout his career he was a mentor to a host of fascists, including these jackbooted young extremists who stomped around Portland from 1964 to 1966. rightlandia.ghost.io/speaking-at-...

Even when the GOP officially disavowed the John Birch Society, the modal member of the Party base was a 40-yr-old white guy in Fresno who went on about "globalists."

I think the 90s, when most of the studio audience for Rush Limbaugh's shortlived TV show was made up of Young Republican fratboys waving their fists in a circle and going "woof woof woof," was when the GOP establishment started actively grooming them.

Yeah like dead man switches on the billionaire that have to constantly prove they’re alive or the food safe won’t open for the guards. Very normal and rational behavior

the admin that imprisoned and tried to deport a student over a pro-Palestinian op-ed, calling it anti-semitism, calls outrage over "I love Hitler" texts by young Republicans "pearl-clutching"

Obviously that's not the most horrifying thing about this news development — the "we only want white refugees" is — but deeming "People in my home country dislike me because I am a bigot" worthy of refugee status is pretty galling.

3. Newsom rejected a bill that would have allowed transgender people—and anyone using HRT—to maintain a 12-month supply of their medication, a backstop to protect access amid federal crackdowns and disruptions. The bill would have also amended healthcare laws to explicitly protect gender identity.

Keir Starmer: "Oh no! The right wing press just asked me a loaded question about trans women and penises, whatever will I do! Guess I'll just have to throw all of them under the bus because we're stuck at an impasse😭"

Zack Polanski: "Yes they can"

Not even on Thursday?

Bette Midler sings to Stephen Colbert: You never kissed the orange ass.

If there's one thing you can count on from Netanyahu, it's that he'll sign a ceasefire and then simply refuse to cease firing.

This deserves more attention. North Carolina wiped out $6.5 Billion in medical debt for 2.5 million residents. Less than 1/3 of what we paid to bail out Argentina.
